Code supporting the paper "Static in Frames, Dynamic in Events: Rethinking Features in Event Cameras as Motion Cues"
Wat erin zit
Event cameras capture intensity changes asynchronously with high temporal resolution, requiring novel preprocessing methods for downstream tasks. Unlike static intensity snapshots, event data inherently encode information about scene dynamics and object motion, meaning that features derived from events can exhibit behaviors with no direct analogue in frame-based vision. In this paper, we analyze two features used in event-based corner detection---the eigenvalues of the structure tensor and the spatiotemporal density values---and show that they are motion cues. We hypothesize that these features, combined with local geometric information, can enhance motion estimation tasks. To validate this, we first theoretically analyze how the eigenvalues of the structure tensor at moving corner points relate to the direction of motion. We then design controlled experiments on a synthetic dataset, confirming that extending local geometric features with eigenvalues and density values provides complementary motion information and is robust to texture and shot noise. Finally, we integrate the proposed features into a state-of-the-art event-based optical flow network and evaluate on the real-world …
